When assigning resources to tasks, the tasks' estimated hours should automatically be added to allocation under team tab

When I'm in a project, and adding tasks, I am asked for what resource to add to the task and the estimated hours. After I complete this, I still have to go to the Team tab and manually add the hours for the resource. It would be more streamlined if the allocation of hours were automatically added to the team members assigned to tasks. You can divide the hours evenly if there are more than 1 person to a task, and you can spread out the hours based on the start and end date.

You project estimation is resource based. Here is how it goes. In order to calculate Estimates, don't assign Estimated hours to the Task, instead go to Resources tab and allocate the hours to resources. You can follow the below steps:

Go to Resource ManagementClick on Show Projects Under the User NameAdd the Allocation Then choose Assign to TaskThis was the Estimates will be done based on the allocation

Hi Aashnee, I'm not sure what you're saying. Is there anyway for you to show me in a screenshare of some kind? I tried adding hours in the allocation tab, then assigning the person to a task, but the hours don't show up in the task hour estimation.

I am summarizing the concern below and forwarding the same to our product management team:

1. You want the actual hours of the subtasks to sum up and show at the parent task level

2. Once you allocate a certain amount of estimated hours to a task, the allocation should be automatically allotted to the resources, rather than going to the team - allocation section and manually allocated resources.
